Exhibition: Nebraska vs Wayne State - Nov. 1

Some of the lineups seemed like we were drawing names out of a hat

Trueblood, Copeland, Hieman, and Borchardt were all on the court at the same time for a stretch.

I think Miles was just trying to get everyone some time.  You'll see a lot more sured line-up Tuesday is my guess.

I will add a bit to my previous game speculation

- Good for Thor who may have had the play of the game with his behind the back lay up.  

- Nice to see James get his bad game out of the way.

- Must have had tired legs...we were really clanging our three pointers...uggggglllly.

- But the legs must have been okay for our free throw shooting.

Fun to see us on the court again.

Did you notice how he was able to score without a power dribble?

He said before the game he was going to play everyone early and often

Doesn't surprise me.  Unlike previous years, we pretty much know what we got.  We have our starting five sured up.  In addition, I think we pretty much know our next 3-4.  There isn't much experimenting that needs done this year.

I did think Thor looked better tonight.

This got me out of my seat

I certainly think he would be serviceable for 3-5 mins a game if needed.

Why no Jake Muehl tonight?

Kent said he had a conflict

Come on Jake. First game of the year and you can't show up? LOL

Something to do with the Shim Shams... I don't know. I don't ask questions beyond that.

I'm excited to see what Heiman can accomplish in the weight room, nutritional program, and ultimately the court over the course of a 4-year stretch. I have a feeling he'll surprise us every year with something good.

Maybe Armon Gates has some of the Dererk Pardon secret sauce left over that he can use on Brady.

I didn’t get to watch the game but based on the stat line the good news is Roby should be ready to go.

The bad news is we are now like 7-50 from 3PT land between this game and the scrimmage. Surely it won’t be that bad during the season but if we can’t find at the very least an adequate outside game I don’t think we can win as many games as we are hoping for this year.

Hands stayed up the entire time. As Brady improves through out the season his minutes will increase.

I admit Brady looked better than I originally projected he would in the exhibition. I agree he will get better as the season goes on, but the caveat I see to your point is that as the season does go on we will be playing the Michigan and Ohio State's of the world and not the Wayne State's. He had a tremendous hight advantage last night which offset the issue with his playing weight at this time. As he gets better he will also be facing far superior opponents in both size and athleticism which will probably offset some of his gains. My final word on the subject is, we will simply have to wait and see how things play out.

Frustrating to me because it seemed like Nana somehow got in Tim's doghouse early and didn't play enough. I thought he looked fine out there and it's probably getting frustrating for him.

I was wondering if it was because he was not aggressive enough. He was the first off the bench first half but did not really look for his shot. Second half he was 5th I believe to come in but was hunting shots and looked much better IMO

Seemed like he got lost on defense a few times too

Nana is going to be the 2018-19 Tim Miles is in my grill player of the year. Last year's award winner was Isaiah.

I didn't think anything of Nana's minutes other than the staff was attempting to get everyone time.  Nana seemed engaged before, during and after the game.  He also appears to be our number one dancer.

Nana has a chance to be a more athletic Andrew White, although i'd like to see a bit more arch on his jumper. He also needs to pick it up on the defensive end substantially.

The last point is the most concerning aspect of Nana's game. I hope he figures it out, NU needs him to contribute in some form this season.
